SPEED | ORIGINAL S | FULL POWER & TRIPLE STRIKE
Manual PvE: a powerful status-cycle hero with significant execution demands. Arena: dangerous mobility and pressure in skilled hands. AI: a manual status loop cannot be assumed to execute automatically. [S12, S44]
Talents
L + BR is the common smoother Triple Strike route. L + TR is also defended for damage against shielded targets and Extreme status. Neither route is universally wrong. [S44]
Cards and build
Swift Striker EX has specific support for Q. General offense, Nomu or a Mirio passive variant are community candidates. Use the card that supports the loop you are actually playing rather than importing base Deku advice. [S12]
Manual play
Enter Full Power, use W to leave it, then re-enter promptly to trigger enhanced Q Triple Strike. With BR, E provides a convenient re-entry route; other triggers include perfect dodge, a kill or the normal Q sequence. Use the three enhanced Q hits and rebuild the status cycle. Do not assume E grants Full Power without the required talent. [S12, S44]
Investment
The baseline re-entry window is commonly described as five seconds; talents can modify it. Extreme/special gives burst but stops the normal Triple Strike cycle and leaves a recovery dip, so community advice often reserves it for a final push. Exact timing must be checked against your equipped talents. [S44]
Practice tips
Trigger Triple Strike five times using W-to-E re-entry. Then practice triggering it through a kill or perfect dodge without losing your target.
